    Marksmanship is fine and cool to teach kids in the right context. High precision shots involve patience, timing, and breathing regulation. Honestly serves as a kind of meditation sometimes.

      obviously, the whole context surrounding guns in school makes this kinda yikes.
      but theoretically I don't know if it's too different from archery which my school did occassionally.

        Airguns. They shoot pellets.

        There used to be .22LR rifles used in schools but were withdrawn from service because of lead exposure in poorly ventilated indoor ranges due to that when a lot of schools were built lead poisoning wasn't a very big thing.
